Finally got rid of the cosmos plants, they were still flowering but very puny, also the sweet peas & pelargoniums. Anthemis tinctoria is still going in the shady back but finished in the sunny front,verbena bonnies, phlox, heucheras, sedum spectabile, v. tall pink daisy-thingy, fuchsias genii & riccartonii, bacopa, large scabious, primroses, lychnis coronaria pink, osteospermum, alpine strawberries, a rose or 2 & a couple of summer bedding things I can't remember the names of are still flowering, but only just! I hate pulling out things if there's any flowers left, so in some cases you have to look closely for the flowers!!
However the Mexican daisies, gaulthiera procumbens, heathers & rudbeckia marmalade are all flowering really well.
The sun's gone from the back garden now - will have to wait until about mid-Feb for a sighting.
Yes I think mine will go shortly too. I did cut back a lot yesterday but couldn't bear to cut everything down so have left a few lovely blooms and think next weekend will be the last of them.
Oh yes, my toad lilies are still vg too, also forgot the clary sage & sidalceas/mallows - small flowers but several spikes with lots of flowers on. The hardy geraniums have been very good but the frosts seem to have done for them now.

My dahlias are still flowering, i had to dig most of them up. To get ground mulched.
Picked last of the second blooming of delphs for indoor vase. Lots of things still going and the baskets in the conservatory are still very good,

Still quite a few flowers hanging on
Still had no frosts here yet and none forecast for the near future either
That's just showing-off Matt!!
Those chrysanths are stonking, you must have looked after them really well! I try not to grow anything that's not hardy, but I do like that pink one.
